Well, not really. I went through a mid-photographic-life-crisis (the kind Dave Brooks has been in for years) and sold all my Canon gear! Actually I was so hard up for cash that I had no choice. Kept back my 2 Pentax bastards: the A*85/1.4 and the K15/3.5 and put the K mounts back on so I could use them with my wife's old *istDs that we have. Of course, no aperture stimulators on those, so stop-down use only, which is no problem. I also sold my Epson R-D1 and 2 lenses which I was sad to see go, but setting up and running a business in the UK in 2006 and trying to pay off the loan on a GBP 25k Land Rover, as well as using redundancy to buy 25k worth of filming kit has taken its toll. I decided to stick to video for the time being and bought a small HD camera for professional use: <http://tinyurl.com/jvcminicam> So there you have it. I'll get back into stills when the good times roll - hopefully this year! -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ---------- http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
